The terrain leading to Pingliang in Lanzhou has been precipitous, the peaks and peaks on both sides of the road are stacked on top of each other, and the strange peaks are next to each other.

Yang Xiao** accompanied Da Kui on the horse, and said as he walked: "Father-in-law, we need to find a guide, otherwise we will 'touch' into Pingliang like this, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to our army."

Da Kui nodded, looked around, and saw that his eyes were full of desolation, but there were no people.

Yang Xiaohu looked back at the five thousand 'fine' cavalry behind him, and couldn't help frowning: "Father-in-law, the land of Pingliang is very steep, and we can't wait for the advantage.

Da Kui smiled lightly and said: "The soldiers are not there, but there are many 'fine'.

"This time, my father-in-law has brought out the 'Jing' cavalry camp, so why is Sun Qian different?" Yang Xiaohu asked one question after another.

Da Kui not only sighed: "Sun Qian is the emperor's prince, how can it be comparable to us."

As he was talking, Da Kui saw smoke rising from the foot of the mountain.

"Little Tiger, go ahead and see what kind of people it is, remember to speak carefully, don't frighten the people." Da Kui carefully advised.

"Yes." Yang Xiaohu agreed, then rode his horse and whipped up, leading the team to the smoke in the distance.

As the saying goes: Yang Xiaohu galloped for a while, and it took a pillar of incense to reach the foot of the mountain.

Yang Xiaohu came to the courtyard 'door' to turn over the saddle and dismounted, led the horse to the 'door' and stretched out his hand to pat the 'door'.

After a while, I saw through the crack in the 'door' of the courtyard that the 'door' of the farmhouse opened, and out came a fifty-year-old woman.

"Auntie, I'm passing by, I want to ask you something." Yang Xiaohu raised his voice and said.

When the woman saw that Yang Xiaohu was the only one outside the hospital, she couldn't help asking, "Where are you from?"

Yang Xiaohu smiled: "I'm from Lanzhou."

The 'woman' took two steps forward, and looked at Yang Xiaohu carefully through the fence.

Yang Xiaohu led the horse, first bowed down and hugged his fists with a smile on his face, and then said: "Auntie, I want to ask what kind of place this is, how far away is it from Pingliang Town."

When the old woman asked, she replied, "This is Kongtong Mountain, and it is still 70 miles away from Pingliang." As he spoke, he looked Yang Xiaohu up and down.

Yang Xiaohu led the war horse, immediately hung an iron spear, and Zhou's body was tight and neat, and the iron armor was shining.

Yang Xiaohu blushed when he saw it, not only broke the silence but also asked, "I don't know who else is in the eldest mother's family."

Then the old woman looked at the sky and replied, "There is another old man in my family, and I should come back in a while."

Yang Xiaohu came this time to inquire about the affairs of Pingliang City, but in the face of this old woman, it was difficult to speak for a while.

"Kid, you're hungry." The old woman asked with a kind smile on her face.

Yang Xiaohu scratched his head and said after a while: "There are many of us, and we have brought the pot and stove food, so we won't bother the aunt." But the old woman called, "Son, I have boiled barley porridge and steamed some steamed buns at home.

Yang Xiaohu turned around and replied with a smile: "Hey, I'll come back when I tell my father-in-law." The old woman couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Seeing that Yang Xiaohu got on the horse, the old 'woman' greeted with a smile: "Since your family is here, you might as well come to my house together.

Yang Xiaohu only smiled slightly when he pulled his horse, and then whipped away towards the way he came.

The old woman happily went back to the house, first wiped the tables and chairs, sprinkled water on the clean ground, and cleaned the floor.

At this moment, half of the old men and women came in from outside the courtyard door, and the old woman looked back in the house, and then happily welcomed them out of the house.

"Old man, I'm going to have a guest in a moment." The old woman said with a smile.

It was the husband of the old woman, who was carrying two rabbits and a bow of arrows, and he looked like a hunter." yes, I don't say where they came from, what they do." The old man asked as he walked into the room.

The old woman followed behind her and replied with a smile: "It's a young student, and it looks like a military man."

When the old man heard this, he turned around and said, "Junhan, could it be that he went to Pingliang to find out the news."

The old woman didn't just ask, "What news do you want to hear?"

The old man was already eagerly saying, "Hurry up and clean up with me, and we'll hide in the mountains."

"Oh, old man, what is this doing?" When the old woman heard that her husband was not speaking well, she could not help but panic.

The old man said angrily: "Even if you are a military man, you must be here to talk and listen to the news, if you say it, you will offend the people on Pingliang's side.

The old woman suddenly came to her senses and hurried into the house, and the old man stood outside the courtyard and called, "Just bring dry food, and don't want anything else." After a while, the old woman returned to the courtyard with a burden, and the old couple went out of the door in a panic and fled along a deserted path towards the mountains.

Da Kui listened to Yang Xiaohu's proclamation, and immediately ordered the army to move forward at full speed. For a while, the iron hooves flew and rumbled, and the five thousand men and horses arrived at the 'door' of the farmhouse that Yang Xiaohu said in only half an hour.

When Yang Xiaohu came to the 'door' of the farmhouse again, he saw that the 'door' of the courtyard was wide open, and there were two dead rabbits on the ground in the yard.

"Is anyone home?" Yang Xiaohu stood in front of the 'door' of the courtyard and shouted loudly.Just about to step into the 'door'.

"Stop." Da Kui shouted, turned over the saddle, dismounted, walked to Yang Xiaohu, and said, "Even if the master's house is not there, it is naturally inconvenient for us to break in."

"But when I came here earlier, someone was at home, and the old lady invited me to dinner." Saying that, Yang Xiaohu hurriedly added: "That old lady has also invited you." As he spoke, he pointed to the farmhouse and said, "You can see that the 'doors' of the house are open, and there is wine and food on the table in the house.

Da Kui sighed and said, "The order goes down, and the army retreats three hundred steps back to rest in place."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaohu pouted and went to give the order.

The four fields are green and beautiful, and the birds and insects are singing.

Da Kui only thought about seeing the people carefully exploring the situation of Pingliang Town.

Pingliang is just a small town, with a total of just over 2,000 people, but there are more than 10,000 garrisons.

Aodun used to be a splash on Qingyang Street.On weekdays, he did all the bad things that were wrong, and he was once put in prison for hurting people's lives and eating lawsuits.Yuan Court has a law.' Meng's people killed Han people, and the Han people injured 'Meng' people and beheaded them.

Later, the world was in great turmoil. Timur and Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi had a grudge against each other, until they attacked each other, Zhang Liangbi was the weakest of the three, and the troops were insufficient for a while, so the prisoners in the prison were released and confiscated into the army.

He knows Pingliang Town Aodun well, because this is where his hometown is.

It is true that money can make ghosts grind. Whether it is a bandit or a defeated general or a defeated soldier, even if it is a single 'prodigal' Han, as long as he is willing to join the army, Aodun will not refuse to change it. In just one month, the soldiers and horses under the command of Aodun have grown from the original six or seven thousand to nearly 10,000. Thinking of danger in times of peace is a wise saying. Aodun is not only brave but also strategic. Knowing that entrenching in Pingliang is not a long-term solution, so he recruits soldiers and stores grain and grass thickly. As long as the Ming army comes to suppress it, if he can fight, he can't fight, so he takes his men and hides in the mountains.

At the beginning, the battle of the Guanchuan River was the brunt of Aodun's men and horses.

There are two distinguished guests today.

Entertaining distinguished guests naturally requires feast and hospitality.

In the hall, the silk and bamboo are surrounded by ears, and the beautiful woman waits for the wine.

On the banquet, Ao Dun toasted frequently, and his words were extremely respectful.

"The two distinguished guests are coming to Pingliang, and it is an honor to come, come, and toast the two of you again." Aodun said and raised his glass and drank it all.Sun Qian casually raised his glass to deal with it.Fang Jiutian didn't move.There was no expression on his bulging face.But with this respectful face, ordinary people were afraid that they would have a nightmare for three days.

"General Sun's business is my Aodun business, and there are no outsiders here. General Sun has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Aodun waved his hand, a heroic 'color'.

In terms of size, it can be said that he is half a catty and eight taels, the same tall and mighty, and the same rough and heroic face.

Sun Qian sighed and said: "I thought that if I got rid of the 'spring' that often encountered, the Ming army would lose its position.

Aodun couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.Who said it wasn't.If it weren't for the defeat of the Yuan army.He Aodun wouldn't have fallen to this.

At this time, Fang Jiutian, who was sitting in the seat of the guest of honor, said coldly: "Then let's get rid of Xu Da again." Saying that, Fang Jiutian picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine and swallowed it slowly.
